After graduating from Nebraska, White played one more year of college basketball at Syracuse University. He was the top scorer for his team, averaging 18.5 points per game. He set a new school record by making 112 three-pointers in that season. This broke the old record held by Gerry McNamara. Because of his great performance, he was named to the Third Team All-ACC.
